I think we need to see you make the edwardian bloomers purely because you love them so much. I love them too and I wish costumes were everyday clothes. At least some of the time.

What a lovely dye garden. 😃 It will be so interesting to see you compare indigo with woad. 🙂 I haven't heard of bush tomato. 🍅 Did you mention Weld, Reseda luteola? That is otherwise one of the main dye plants for yellow. It gives a very colour-fast, clear yellow. 💛🍋 It can be used with woad or indigo to make green. 🍏☘🌿🍃

Just found you …love the dress . Great job.👍

Turmeric is a good one! Of course, it is rather easy to buy... but if you grow it, you also get fresh turmeric to eat, so that's a bonus! Great video, very informative :)

I rue the day I planted lady’s bedstraw in the garden You use the roots which are so fine you need heaps ,but it has become a real pest in my garden up the road from you (cockatoo)so be very careful if you haven’t planted it in the garden .try it in a pot to start with and see what you think. You really need so much of the root though I don’t think it is worth the annoyance and they are very very fine . Good luck with the others another good one I don’t think I heard you mention was calendula very easy to grow and control. Forage for montbretia at the moment lots of places in the hills you will see this bright orange flower again don’t plant in the garden you will never get rid of it gives a good dye especially with solar dying.have fun

What wonderful creations your going to get to create when all the plants start producing. Mud brick cottage is 10 minutes up the road from me. Love going there,their plant selections awesome. After watching your vide9, I got up and started dying a tshirt with dried calendula flowers(from mudbrick cottage) fingers crossed. 💗💗💗

What an amazing idea!

Cool 😀

Dyers chamomile

I'm so here for this suggestion 7:30 😂😂As an Australian thank you for this. lol

Hi from Finland! In Turku yarn shop ILO is a must for you! In Tampere I recommend Nurja and in Helsinki my favourite is Armi yarns. Have a great trip! ❤

Love your hair in this video! Can't wait to see the results of the socks.

Thanks! Hope you can get some more seeds ❤

How exciting! ❤ your diversity. I like annatto black walnut alkanet. KraftKolour are great inspo. Fair Dinkum seed are a great resource too! Good luck. I will watch your experiments with interest!

Omg the cat socks!!!

Those socks are divine. Love the Amy chaos ❤

Wow, you look so cute! ❤

In Stockholm, there are a few good shops. I would say Litet Nystan on Folkungagatan in Södermalm is one of the very best. In the southern suburbs there is Garnadiset in a suburb called Bandhagen, quite small but very well stocked.

Where do you buy your marino t-shirt fabric please?

I really love the 4th and 5th options depending on whether you feel like colourwork or lace. I love this idea, especially for a small project like socks, I might do one for myself for my next sock cast on.

Love your music

Omg! That happens to me. I can’t watch my kid play games 🤢

Hahaha Rachel who?…We’re here for you sista

What hair type is she? I’m just an aunt trying to help with my nieces hair routine because nobody here knows how to handle our mixed little girls curls but it looks just like your kids hair. With what we are doing right now it just gets frizzy and messy so easily and the curls don’t stay very long.

I’m in the near future travelling from Denmark to Australia, and I’m bringing some baby knits, to pass the time on the flight. I do hope, that you’ll enjoy visiting the cold north ❤️

Twas fun to see you explore options, Lovely.So exciting for you preparing for your Nordic adventures.All socks looked great..like the scrappy cat vent ones for a quick dopamine hit.Happy weekend to you.xx

What a fun video. It is also my dream to go to Scandinavia. So envious! In case you haven't already, you should check out the doyens of Norwegian yarn and knitting Arne and Carlos for yarn shopping and pattern inspiration. I know they recommend going to Husfliden (various locations in Norway) and Hillesvåg wool mills in Bergen, among others across the country. Enjoy! 🌨🐻‍❄🧶

You will have a fabulous trip! I was in Oslo September 2024. I went to a very lovely shop there called Fru Kvist located on Ovre Slottsgate. Wonderful shop. Very friendly staff. I bought 2 kits--one for socks and one for nordic mittens. And if you like craft beer, you MUST go to Schouskjelleren Mikrobryggeri at Trondheimsveien 2, 0560 in Oslo. There is not another brewery in this world like it--in my humble opinion!! And hopefully the very friendly Tommy Jacobson is still pouring there! I would make the One fish, two fish socks! Happy travels!

❤ I can recommend this store handler Copenhagen, I not that indpresset with the fabric store I Copenhagen, they are much better where I live. But they sometimes have like a fair( I think you will call it) where shop all over the country have a little booth.

I love this, and I discovered some new sock patterns. Thank you ❤ imagine the Field of seeds with a rainbow afterthought heel as well! 🥰

I love ravelry roulette! I’ve seen so many fabulous projects when Tayler does this.

You are coming to scandinavia! Where if you want to share? 😊 In Finland we have pretty "warm" weather, considering it is january. I live in southest part of the country tho, but usually jan and feb are the coldest months here too. Have not had chance to wear my knits pretty much at all yet for this season. 😢

Fun tip, color work is the place where verigated and multi color yarns shine when paired with a solid. Lots of wow with very little work.

I love the. Cat sox ❤

Second sock syndrome! @retroclaude knits both socks at the time time, ie, cast on and co.plete 1st toe, then same for 2nd socket, then knit up to heel, then sane for 2nd socket, then knit the heel, then same for 2nd, etc. 👍🏼

hi! if you have the opportunity, the night train from stockholm to kiruna if a wonderful experience! i took it only as far as lulea, and in the summer, so we slept with the window open, and the smell of the trees while the train rocks you gave me the best sleep of my life <3 it might be hard to plan into a trip if you have luggage etc, we did it while we were still living in sweden so we only had a weekend bag. while lulea was cute, it felt more like a university-centered town to me, with a smaller historical center and more area for appartments, so again if you have limited time it's a bit tricky since you might not spend too much time there. it's close to a very big train museum, some carriages and locomotives are open, others not, but still great to walk around! and it's also close to the Gammelstad church town which is very nice to visit as well, and there are floating saunas on the water in lulea, but i don't know how that works in the winter. we didnt have time to stick around much but the forest has a lot of old growth trees. (+ beautiful birch trees everywhere up north!) i'd love to visit kiruna in the winter, there are beautiful nature spots to see, like a cascade, but since i haven't been yet i can't speak much on it and i don't know how far that is from the city. also i spent a winter in Gothenburg, so i layered wool tights under skin color thermal tights under skirts, long wool ones for colder days, and i layered multiple wool undershirts under my sweaters. (now back home i actually prefer zip up thermals, either over or under if they fit) i could get away with thin sweaters with this method. definitely choose things that can be peeled off without too much trouble. i made myself a big crochet snood, but when it snowed i would get a thick layer of snow on top of my head in just minutes, that would soak through while waiting for the bus, so i would recommend watertight hiking jackets (with hoods) so you can travel lighter and not be bothered with always having to dry a thick wool things somewhere. i live in brittany now, and it's as rainy as people say. i now run most of my errands with fast drying hiking pants. absolutely life changing not to have wet stuff clinging to your skin hours after rain has ended. (however they just dry fast, they're not watertight, so you would have the same trouble as before if you layer them with thermal things), so i'm not sure how to apply this to wet AND COLD winter weather? if you're going for a glamorous look, maybe a jacket that goes all the way to your feet would go well with long skirts? greetings from france :D additions: whatever you do, make sure your neck covering can cover your nose and stay in place there! the tip gets sooooo cold !!! i'd advise a tight thermal that hugs you like a ski mask, under a nicer looking scarf or snood wind will make your eardrums hurt, definitely cover your ears well also in case you don't know already, the good stuff in hiking gear is typically made out of gore-tex fabric, it's water tight for up to 8 hours in the rain if double layered, 4ish for a single layer rainjacket, and it's breathable. typically for skiing people have a jacket out of this with a thermal or two under which we call polaire over here 🙂 i lived in the alps until i was 18 and this was the formula everywhere. colthing choice is definitely going to be a range. the more hiking ready you look, the less layers and mess you'll have to deal with, and the more you try to incorporate cute coats and bottoms the more you'll have to pack. i've done many winters layered like an onion so i could survive wearing mini skirts and cropped faux fur jackets, and now i just want to make it as easy as possible lol

One fish…two fish or the snow flower one. All were really nice

Wish I could knit socks. I love your posies colour way in your beautiful hand dyed yarn

Next time could you recap for all us who saw a shiney thing half way thru and have to rewatch! Hahaha! Just kidding. Very easy to watch again 😂

What a productive year! Very practical projects. Great to see all your makes. Really enjoyed that you are becoming more mindful about the textiles that you are using. Happy makes for sure! Enjoy your trip to the cold North!

I love the picture of you sewing won your treadle with your Apple Watch the times of life. I have one grandmothers cabinet treadle that I used for years till I was able to afford an electric sewing machine my brother has the the other grandmothers which is similar to yours, he is going to put into his bus. I was also lucky enough a few years ago when my son rang to say he had been looking for a sewing machine and saw this really funny small singer at a great price ,my comment was go back and get it please.he was able to get the price even lower .so I have my featherweight as well as a 😮husquavana 2000 that I need to do some work on. Kristine and Shannon and Bernadette banana are on my viewing list ,and for spinning try Minaj Waldron and Jillian eve, from another Victorian

Just what I needed to get me going to finish my capsule wardrobe, thank you ❣ Anne, Tassie

The most important part of dressing for extremely cold weather is layering. If you're wearing only a couple very thick and warm layers, you're more likely to start sweating, and if you then take off one of those layers then your sweat is going to make you very very cold. Start with base layers, Which it looks like you already have, and then build up layers on top of that. A base layer, your shirt or blouse, a sweater, and insulated jacket, and then maybe a shell on top of that. If you can find an insulated shell or a 2-in-1 jacket, that could be great, but I find I generally don't want to wear a shell because it traps in the moisture of my body when I'm being active, and so I only wear a shell if it's super windy, raining, or snowing to protect my clothes from getting wet. Beautiful job with everything you made in 2024, definitely inspired me! ❤

This video is so helpful. I'm just concerned that having wet hair will make my toddler sick/catch a cold? What has been your experience regarding this? Especially with colder days or mornings?

Lovely to see your beautiful Singer 66 treadle in action! I have one that I converted to a hand crank & my H built a lovely timber box base for ( it was the head only, found via my local hard rubbish group -here in Melbourne- so she needed some work). I need to make a new scissors pouch - looks like the perfect small project to try some crazy patchwork ( big fan of Shannon Makes too, so I should use some fabric from her fabric swap!)

Two of my favourite makers have started second channels for stuff that doesn't fit whatever the algorithm "thinks" isn't suitable for their main channels. Shannon Makes/Shannon Makes Something Else and Charlie Nebe aka The Stitchery That could be a way to show videos that you've gone to the effort of making but feel unsure about putting on this channel
